Honest advice
Roof Replacement: Do You Really Need It?
A full re-roof is a major spend, so the honest first question is whether you actually need one. These are the signs a Winchester roof has genuinely reached end of life rather than needing another repair. In Teg Down specifically, among the most exposed estates in the city — high, open, and prone to wind uplift on ridges and verges.
Tiles lifting by hand across whole slopes (nail sickness)
Repeated leaks in different places on the same roof
Sagging or dipping in the roof line
Bitumen felt visible in the loft that is torn, brittle or absent
A roof over 50–60 years old on its original covering
Where this is the wrong fix: If the covering is sound and only the lead or ridge has failed, a targeted repair is the right call — do not let anyone sell you a full re-roof for a localised fault. Read the full guide.

The process
How a Teg Down Roof Replacement Job Runs
1. Free survey
We check each slope from a ladder and inspect the loft for the tell-tale signs, tracing the fault to its origin. In Teg Down, the roof type and the access on streets like Teg Down Meads guide our approach.
2. Written itemised quote
The quote is fixed and itemised: the fault, the materials, the access, and the price, all in writing.
3. Scheduling & scaffold
On completion, scaffold goes up 1–3 days before work starts; the whole job is booked to a firm start date.
4. The re-roof
Afterwards, strip, treat timbers, lay membrane and battens, re-tile with stainless fixings, rebed ridge in flexible mortar, renew chimney lead.
5. Cleanup & guarantee handover
Afterwards, full site clearance, waste removed, and a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued.

Good to know
Living Around the Work
A re-roof means a week or more of scaffold, noise and skip activity. You do not need to move out — external work only — but expect dust and deliveries. You do not need to stay home for external work — just power and access agreed in advance.
Re-roofs run through most of the year; we phase the strip so no more is opened up than can be made watertight that day. Among the most exposed estates in the city — high, open, and prone to wind uplift on ridges and verges.
